That was great, thanks for posting it
Buddy Hackett, along Jonathan Winters were always two of my favorites.

Carson was the best at late night. He had a cross section of guests on his show including Politicians, but he himself never revealed his Political leanings and once said if you show your politics you'll loose half your audience.

That cracked me up. Few comedians could tell a story better than Hackett. Bob Newhart was another one.

I miss the real comedians. The ones who could really make you laugh, and didn't have to get foulmouthed, racist or sexist to do it.
I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm.

Hackett was funny but the Hackett you saw on TV and the Hackett you saw in a club were two different people. He was known to be one of the bluest of the blue.

Oh yeah! Like Redd Foxx. Not the sweet old man with the junk yard. Funny guys without the politics. None of the comedians of today make me laugh like that generation.

Hackett, by the way was a gun guy. Both he and Mel Torme had extensive collections of Colt Single Actions. Torme, at one time, bought and later sold, the famous Colt Sears gun.

I think a network, any network, could make a ton of money by replaying episodes of Johnny Carson at 2230 every weeknight to compete with the garbage that's out there now.
I know I'd watch.

Our cable company, Cox, shows Johnny Carson re-runs from the eighties, every weeknight at 11:30. Beats the hell out of those three newbies.
